Would you buy this diamond?

Hi all,

This is my first diamond purchase, and it is for the engagement ring.

I found a WF's ACA diamond:

0.602ct, G, SI1,$1850

And WF told me this diamond is eye clean from 10 inches but not 6 inches. I think this is a limited eye-clean.

Would you buy this diamond? Thanks.

Hearts/IS/ASET looks fine.

Are YOU okay with a stone that is clean from 10" but not 6" or closer? That's the only question here - otherwise it looks like a lovely stone.

Thanks for your opinion.

There are lots of shadow in the hearts pic.

If it's eye clean to your standards, then I think it's a nice stone. If you're not sure, go to a local store and ask to see a stone with slightly visible inclusions and see what you think. If you're ok with it, have WF ship it to you for inspection and see what you think in person.

if it's not mind-clean for you then maybe look for an alternative? WF has some G/SI1s that are slightly smaller that might be eye-clean.

Thanks for your opinion. I would go to a local store to have a look.

I'd inquire where you can see the inclusions. If it's from the side or bottom, that would make me more comfortable than from the top.

I have asked them to describe the inclusions, but haven't received the response.

No. I think you can do better. I'd prefer a non-hearts and arrows stone with ideal light return than a stone that isn't eyeclean.

http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-2564434.htm I'd ask about this one. The inclusions are white. It costs 140 more, but I think if it is eyeclean it would be worth it.

For me- being eyeclean is a must!!!!
